18/Ren

My first love has the scent of cigarettes.

Shinoda Asumi is 18 years old, 171 cm tall, and in her third-year of high school. She is done with all her club activities and she is struggling with her future plans. Amidst her confusion, she falls head over heels for a man. The smell of cigarettes, piercings in his ears. This man, smaller than herself, is a mysterious, unsuccessful novelist.

A story of first love, woven between a girl wondering about her future and a novelist caught up in his past.
